Before we go out of control bashing the oil companies we should keep 3 things in mind.
1. Our gas is much, much cheaper than anywhere in Europe.
2. A large part of the price of gas is taxes by the Government, and that tax money is pure profit for the government.
3. When you compare the amount of money spent by the oil companies compared to their profits, they actually make a little bit less than other large companies of that size in other industries.
